Why you should buy from a reputable golf cart dealership
I was recently playing golf with a friend and we were talking about second hand golf carts. After the first 9 holes we got into quite a deep conversation and he said to me “oh my gosh I wish I knew what I was buying when I bought this golf cart off Facebook marketplace, the suspension has collapsed and it looks like the batteries have just died’.
Golfers often buy a cart from a friend or they will buy a golf cart online in places such as Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree or the like. You must go and have a look at the abundant second hand golf carts online where you will see a list of golf carts all promising the earth. Most of these golf carts are they are being souped up and look very impressive indeed.
Now days the advertisement shows the options of the glitz and the glamour. The raised suspension, all the colours to choose from on the body work, custom seats in any colour, all new 12” or 14” wheels. These guys are souping these carts up good and proper and reselling them online
What’s interesting about most or many of these listings, is that the listings with holds the most valuable information such as the Make, the model, the year of the cart, the age of the batteries, when the cart last went in for a service.
Here’s the truth and the facts behind many of these second hand golf carts…
Don’t be misinformed.
Many of the carts are listed online as recently refurbished. These golf carts are not new at all. They are not intentionally listing the model of the cart, they are also doing the outsides up and not considering the mechanics of the golf carts. They are selling the golf carts based on appearance and not the intrinsic value of the golf cart.
What’s more…
Many of these older carts are being refurbished in peoples garages, they are using cheaper generic parts that don’t cost them a bomb and they are mainly focusing on the exterior of the carts. They are selling the golf carts with no assessment done to the batteries and they are not test driving these golf carts nor are they taking them around 18 holes. They are doing them up with as little money spent as possible on them to make a quick buck. This is just a disaster area. Buying older golf carts with old batteries that look good is just going to lead to good money being spent on bad.
Here’s a quick list of reasons why you should buy a custom cart from us, and why Wedge Gold Carts is the most sort after second hand golf cart seller in the Western Cape.
